I'm a graduate student and researcher at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles and sometimes at the Max Planck Research Institute in Tübingen, Germany. Originally, I'm from Calgary, Canada but I have roots in the Netherlands and Romania. I love to travel and explore other countries, but also love to host others in my home towns.

vince was an absolutely pleasant guest. while i unfortunately did not have the chance to meet him personally, i regret not having had the opportunity, since my roommate could not have spoken better about him. she described him as gracious, well-mannered, kind and laid-back. but also my virtual exchange with him in making the arrangements was similarly pleasant. he's definitely welcome to stay here again.
